A beer to the one that knows the answer .
Bob,

British Army vehicles (incl. Land Rovers) are RHD, but they also had a fleet of LHD vehicles which were stationed in Germany (BAOR).

Hanno is 99% correct.

Land Rover produces vehicles with both left and right hand drive.

The British military has purchased both left and right hand drive.

There was effort put into sending appropriate handed vehicles to BAOR etc.

It didn't always work that way and in some years quite a lot of BATUS fleet have been the "wrong" hand drive.

This has also applied to the other wheeled vehicles in such locations.

The purchase of both handed vehicles is being scaled back if not nearly phased out in some new vehicle purchases.

The selling prices for the last four out the door (figuratively speaking) were:

25 March $11311.99
9 April $8680.99
10 April $14668.99
12 April $10156.99

All of the above were basically listed as runners with flaws (chipped glass, "needs a boost to start", bent hood latch, but nothing major listed). Each of the current pair are listed as "not running, does not drive" so you would expect the price to be less than those sold without the comment.

What you have to remember is that what is sold is not as described. The earlier vehicles are not turbo powered but in the ads are described as such. As always you really have to know what you are looking at as to whether you are buying a Land Rover 90, a Land Rover Defender 90 or a Land Rover Wolf 90.

If i am confusing any of you, the clue is that the three above are not the same
